[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has a bad / mean sense of humor and acts like a jerk.

Stop sending him pics or asking his opinion of clothes, it sounds like he doesn't care or is just a mean person. I have relatives like this, and have never heard them give a compliment. [/quote]

Op here. This sounds like a sad way to live. I should be able to expect compliments from my husband. I don't think he's intentionally trying to hurt me. [/quote]

You've been married for 10 years and he has always sucked at compliments. At this point you need to accept that he's just not that kind of person. If he is otherwise a good spouse just accept that this is his weak area and stop setting him up for failure. [/quote]

Op here. Um no. That's a lazy ass excuse. He can improve. He needs to improve or I will leave. [/quote]

I'm the PP. I haven't posted since the previous post here. I also posted above asking what changed that suddenly this is a big deal, and it sounds like what changed is that you had a baby. I and other pp's have asked if he's otherwise a good husband and partner and you have not answered that.

So to me it sounds like you are feeling insecure post baby, and that you are also quite socially awkward (based on the way you write and post) and so neither you or your husband is navigating the emotional turmoil of this post partum transition well.

But if your husband's primary flaw is that he does not compliment you enough and is awkward, and after 10 years and with an 8 month old your solution is that you will leave him if he doesn't improve, than you are a terrible spouse, to be frank. I am not a person who usually throws out the accusation of being selfish when someone wants to divorce, but divorcing someone you have a child with because they made a weird comment about your teeth is completely 100% selfish.

You have a baby OP. Be an adult, figure out what your new life together is going to look like and stop acting like this is your high school boyfriend who needs to be woo you before you strut over to the quarterback. [/quote]
